Bernard- I have finished and loved the Arthur Books. They really give one insight into the lives of peoples from those days. I doubt we can fully appreciate the profound differences between both the way we live and the way we think from them. And yet, while I know it is all fully historical “fiction”, as I read I flame my enthusiasm by thinking of what the great Arthur C. Clarke said when asked about his own speculations on the future. That whatever really will (or did…) happen, it will be (or was…) more stunning than anything our imaginations can summon forth! I suspect that is true. I wonder what staggeringly amazing cascades of events really unfolded in those days that are forever lost to the sands of time…I hope your tales have rivaled them! I feel they must!
